Am I the only one with this problem? When I have a bad expectation on a person's reply, I actually end up procrastinating from touching it. It's like not wanting to read an angry response but without there being a spat in the first place. Sometimes, I just dread what kind of response an rp partner wrote for me. I think that if I read it, I'm going to have to deal with a problem. When I do read it, it's not that bad, though sometimes there does end up being a problem.

I avoid this a lot by posting only in someone's open thread. Not only can I evaluate their writing before I enter the thread, but I'm also making sure a lonely thread doesn't go abandoned.

I do this a lot, I have a horrible tendency to idealize plots in my head and get bothered if the reply they give isn't how I imagine it? Which is entirely my own fault, and something I really need to work on, but if I don't reply pretty fast then I'd say 80% of the time it's because I don't like the way your post went and have yet to disconnect myself enough from my idealized perception of it to reply myself. If that made any sense.

yeeeeeeup.

when it's in this boring conversation thread and I just can't even. I mean, sometimes those are necessary, but I like action! ;n;

I mean, some are alright but others just keep dragging on or there's nothing to really go on and it's like "can I just post a sentence and get this over with?"

But I'd feel like such a dick.

NO THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE. I REALLY try to avoid it too. I wasn't always like this either. I just get really imaginative and ahead of myself. That's why I'm trying to be more of the disciplined type of rper. I make posts and that's it. No spending time of talking about it.

I've not have a problem with convo. Well...I do, sometimes, but not because it's a boring conversation. I despise it when threads drag on like that. It's usually me who moves it. As for ending a drawled-out thread...Hmm. I've seen them but I try to stay optimistic xD And make it as a relevant as possible.

I don't procrastinate on the reading part and just get it over with

The replying part is a completely different story

basically about replies in general tbh

I don;t procrastinate. I am always glad to receive a reply. Sometimes I don't answer as quickly, though, if i need to research or to think more about the situation.

[SIFR]

Elena always makes me feel shame about how judgmental I am.

[Elena]

I am trying not to be judgmental... but I am sometimes too, more about the time of response than about the writing quality. I try to answer as quickly as possible, the delay not to be from my fault, but it pains me when I know I'll get an answer most likely after 2 weeks or more

[Egao, Egao Everywhere]

I'm always glad to receive a reply too. I also try to write as quickly as possible and I get depressed when it takes another week to get a respond. Kind of contradictory lol. But in certain circumstances, despite all my excitement, I get really nervous when I do get a respond, especially when I think I "overdid" it.

[MASQUE]

I'm touch and go tbh. I'll always read the reply the second I notice it, but it might take me forever to post.. why? Probably because well, I'm a butterfly and I friggin' drifted.

idk it's just hard to get to the same level of snap posting I used to do, simply because I want the reply to be good and not well.... crappy. I tend to try to force myself to a minimum and it kills me sometimes, particularly when I'm always left in the driving seat.

nothing makes me more lazy then me being the only person driving the thread so to speak. It's like anything interaction; if you just lie there and be a dead fish, it's not very interesting and won't engage people. That kills my muse like asap. I also hate being herded into a certain answer. So the mix of that just makes me procrastinate.

And then eventually I just don't b/c I don't want to deal with it. (other times my perfectionist side comes out and then I want to overhaul everything I thought was a good idea and it murders everything XD)
